Additional Resources

We know that college can be especially stressful as students confront new responsibilities, life choices, and commitments. During these times, it may be difficult to know if you are experiencing "normal" college challenges or something of greater concern. It is not a weakness to ask for assistance. Rather, coping with these difficulties is often made easier when you seek out information and guidance, or share your concern with others.
